Yes Julie, Golden Headed Cisticolas and the 4th photo  (1704) is a male in or nearly in breeding plumage.
As for the other three, someone more expert than me may be able to tell the female from the non-breeding male but it is very difficult. John

Hi All,

Yesterday I photographed what I think is a Golden-headed Cisticola at Gungahlin. To my inexperienced eye I thought it was a juvenile by its behaviour. (3 photos)

I'd appreciate it if someone could confirm my thoughts or let me know if it's a non-breeding male or female. I'm not sure how to distinguish.

The last photo I took today at Forde maybe a male? I hope I'm on the right track.

Cheers
Julie
